Anna Kendrick scores with hilarious 'non-Super Bowl' ad

Anna Kendrick has gained some serious indie street cred thanks to her hilarious posts on Twitter and her movie roles.

And Anna says she's happy to keep doing indie movies with the occasional blockbuster thrown in, but she got really excited when Newcastle approached her to star in their 2014 Super Bowl commercial which promised a big payday.

However, as Anna explains in the hilarious behind-the-scenes-style ad, apparently the beer maker didn't even have the money or the permission to make a Super Bowl commercial.

So instead of Anna starring as the "beer commercial babe" for the Brown Ale, the spot features Anna sitting in a makeup chair talking to the camera as she gets groomed by a stylist.

As Anna discusses the commercial that never was, she questions her hotness which she says is "like hot to the kind of guys that feel bad for calling a girl hot," and expresses her annoyance that the commercial never panned out and that she has to go back to indie roles.

"We were like days away from the shooting and they called me to say they didn't have any money. It's disappointing, you know, I was really looking forward to the paycheck," she says. "So I'm back to doing indie cred stuff, which is great, but you can't stuff indie cred down the male stripper's g-string."

Anna then closes out the spot with a rant and telling Newcastle Brown Ale to "suck it".
